Hey everyone! I just got done with training camp! My team and I are now waiting at the airport to catch our flight to our first country, Nicaragua. I just wanted to let everything that’s happened and how I’ve been these past couple days!
Leaving home was very emotional, but I made it through and got to Atlanta! When I got to Atlanta, everything began to get sooooooo overwhelming and it continued for the whole day. By the time I actually got to training camp, I had been up for 30 hours, felt very sick, and was beyond overwhelmed. I couldn’t help but cry the whole day Wednesday, and most of Thursday. I questioned why I was here, why I decided such a stressful thing after high school, and if I would feel like this for the whole time. In the back of my head I knew God was a God who used every piece of my life for His glory, so I continued to trust Him. I had never been in a situation where every single comfortable thing in my had been taken away, until now. If you know what it feels like to have every comfort stopped away, you know the gut-wrenching, empty feeling. But I continued to trust and hope God would never let me down. I then fully grasped for the first time that God uses all uncomfortableness, all sadness, all uncertainty for our good, His glory, AND He shows His grace and love through it all. I know that God will use every uncertainty I feel going into these next three months, and I’m so thankful for the discomfort, the home sickness, and the sorrow because I know He will use it!!!
I hope all is well at home and I’m so thankful for all the prayers and love y’all continue to pour out!??
